important in helping teachers prepare for instructional planning when including Special Populations?
What did the article suggest was important in helping teachers prepare for instructional planning when including Special Populations?
The article state that student teachers take this time to learn. Student teaching serves as a preservice training which is a launching pad into teaching in the classroom. Practical or situated knowledge must be gained before you can do what you have learned. Cooperating teaching, previous experience and coursework were the factors that was discussed in the article, with cooperating teaching have the greater influence. Previous experience was the most significant. Student teachers are more likely to do what they see in their classroom experience rather than what they read or learned in the classroom. I'm assuming this is why the article says when in Rome. What do YOU believe is important to consider when it comes to the student teaching experience and the relationship between student teacher and cooperating teacher? I believe the most important thing to consider is not all classrooms and students are the same. Just because you do your student teaching doesn't mean that the situation. Student teaching just gives you the fundamentals. When I did volunteer work and student teaching all teachers handle situations different. I realized then that I was more of a nurturing type. I can be strict and firm but my students trust me more when I build a relationship with them and show that I care. Student teachers should be able to visit several school and work with different age groups. You can take what you learn from the process but at the end of the day you have to rely on your own knowledge and methods that work for you.
Part 2: Conduct some research within the Ashford Library and locate an academic resource that addresses special populations and designing assessments with them in mind. Share the resource you find and summarize it within your response Minority Students in Special and Gifted Education is an e-book that discusses special education for those students that excel in their studies. When most people think about special education they think about students that struggle and have problems learning but this is not always the case. Special education and gifted and talented programs were designed for children whose educational needs are not well met in regular classrooms. This book compares the numbers of students of each race/ethnicity identified for special and gifted education with their representation in the student population. However, data cannot tell us about the assignments. The IQ test is one of the assessments used to evaluate these students.
